August 21, 2013, marks the 150th anniversary of Quantrill's Raid and the sacking of Lawrence. We'll hear an "1863 Commemorate Lawrence" panel discussion on Quantrill's Raid, featuring Steve Nowak of the Watkins Museum of History, Fred Conboy of Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area, Jeremy Neeley of Missouri State University, and Ric Averill of the Lawrence Arts Center. We'll also tour the Watkins Museum new permanent exhibit, which opens this weekend.
